“Myles… Come and see how dad looks like a wet chicken” Minnie who was standing by the door laughed.

Myles ran up to them twisted his face.

“Eww…” Myles said.

Ricardo’s gaze traveled back up to her face. She held a very sorry look on her face.

Valentina turned to the counter and brought out a towel, she soaked it with water and turned to him then began wiping the eggs of his face.

“So sorry boss, you should have signal me that you were in the kitchen” Valentina pouted.

Ricardo simply looked down at her with an expression one could hardly understand.

Ricardo then caught her wrist making her to stop.

“It’s okay. Accidents do occur but just make sure it won’t happen next time” Ricardo said.

He took the towel from her and walked out of the kitchen. On his way out of the kitchen, he glared really hard at Minnie before leaving.

NIGHTSHINE CLUB**

Iris finished cleaning the last glass and then wiped it before keeping it down.

She looked at the time and it was 7PM, time to leave. She removed the apron she was wearing and then kept it before walking out of the club

“Goodbye Mr Peter” She waved before leaving.

“Bye Iris” He smiled, arranging the drinks at the counter.

Iris began walking back home, she suddenly remembered what Gavin told her. That made her face fall again.

“I should have given you two or three slaps instead of just one” Iris mumbled.

Suddenly her phone began ringing. She brought it out to see it was Charlotte.

“Yup girl?” Iris said.

“Where are you girl? The party has started but I’m not seeing you here” Charlotte said. Iris could hear the music blaring through the phone.

“Oh…” Iris said, she completely forgot that today is Dasha’s birthday.

“Well I don’t really feel like coming Charl” Iris said.

“Come on babe… Kim and I are waiting for you” Charlotte said.

“But…” Charlotte hung up on her.

Iris hissed loudly. She hailed a cab which took her home.

PARIS**

They already have finished dinner and right now Valentina was watching a movie with Myles and Minnie snuggling on her and a blanket placed on them.

Ricardo who was done working on his laptop walked downstairs to get himself a glass of water paused and looked at them.

“It’s midnight, what are you still doing awake?” Ricardo asked.

Valentina, Myles and Minnie looked at Ricardo at the same time. They looked at him for a while before looking back at the TV, not uttering a single word.

Ricardo raised his brows.

“That’s weird…” He said and entered tge kitchen.

Minutes later, the film was over. Valentina stretched her body.

“I love this film” Myles said, raising his head from Valentina thigh.

“I love cuddling nanny Tina” Minnie hugged Valentina.

“Awwn…” Valentina hugged her back too and kissed her forehead.

She turned to Myles who quickly looked away. Valentina pulled him in for a hug and also kissed his forehead too.

“I know deep down you wanted it” Valentina whispered to his ears.

Myles simply blushed and looked away from her. Valentina released him and stood up.

“Come on, let’s go to bed before your daddy comes back here. Who knows maybe he’ll fire me this time” Valentina said.

“I’ll never allow that…” Minnie said.

“Goodnight nanny” Minnie stood on the couch and pecked her. She got down and headed to her room.

“Night nanny” Myles said and followed her behind.

Valentina yawned and switched off the TV before going upstairs, heading to her room.

DASHA’S MANSION**

Iris got down the cab and looked up at the mansion in front of her. It was quite big and luxurious.

She slowly began climbing the stairs leading to the interior, just from where she was she could already hear the music playing…

She was wearing a purple cropped top with a black mini skirt. She let her hair fall freely behind her back and she applied a little gloss on her lips.

A maid guided her to where the party was going on. All eyes turned to her as she walked round the room, searching for Kim and Charl… She was just too s*xy to ignore.

“Iris?” A voice called her behind.

She turned to see it was Luca. A smile crept up her lips.

“Luca,,, you’re here too” Iris smiled.

“Allow me to say that you look so…so… Hot tonight!!” Luca said, staring at her from head to toe.

“Awn thanks Luca… By the way have you seen Kim and Charl?” Iris asked.

“Yeah, they’re over there” Luca pointed at where they were sitting.

Iris walked to them with a smile on her lips. A frown immediately settled on her face when she saw Gavin and his friends sharing the same table with her friends.

Kimberly who discussing with Gavin looked at Iris and smiled.

“Wow Iris, you made it!! And you look omg…” Kimberly said.

“Thanks” She smiled and glared at Gavin who couldn’t get his eyes off her body.

“But seriously Iris, you look so hot! Never knew that uniforms could hide a lot of things” Karl smiled

Iris smiled back at Karl in appreciation.

“I need to use the bathroom, excuse me” Iris said and left.

“Gavin,,,, I’m sure you troubled her again. I saw the way she looked at you, looks like she’s really mad at you” Charlotte said and hit his head.

“Hey watch it!! You might be Kim’s friend but I can still hit you back” Gavin said but Kimberly hit him too on the head.

“Ouch…” He winced and looked at Kimberly. Charlotte hit him again on the head. He turned to her and then Kimberly hit her again…

Gavin stood up rubbing his head, he glared at them and then left…

***

Iris finished cleaning her hands and then walked out of the restroom. On her way to the party hall, she saw Gavin coming her way.

She made to walk pass him but he caught her by the forearm and pulled her back to him.

“What do you want? You wanna pull me to a room where they’ll r@pe me?” Iris spatted.

“I’m… I’m sorry” Gavin said, this is a word he has never said to anyone.

“Just let me be okay… I’ll stop pestering you from now on, let’s act like we don’t know each other” Iris said and made to go but he pulled her back.

“I said I’m sorry Iris! I’m sorry for what I did earlier, I know I acted like a fôol, a jerk, an idiót… I know and I’m sorry” Gavin said.

“So you think a little sorry will help to forget what you said earlier? Gavin you don’t even know me and what I’ve went through in my former school. You don’t know the trauma, the hell I went through in my former school. You don’t know what he did to me,,, how he humiliated me! How he raped…”

Gavin slammed her back on the wall and kissed her in order to shut her up. Iris’s eyes grew wide. She quickly pushed him off and her hands flew to his cheek.

“How dare you steal my first kiss…idiot!! Just stay away from me and I’ll stop pestering you!” Iris yelled and stormed out of the way, wiping her tears.

Each time she remembers about what she went through in that school, she always cries…

“Her first kiss? R@ped??” Gavin muttered and ran his hands through his long hairs.

***

Iris stepped into the dance floor and picked a glass of water, she gulped it down and wiped off her lips.

“Iris?” Luca called coming to her…

“You look pale and sad, what’s the problem” Luca asked.

“Nothing” Iris said and looked away.

Luca raised his hands to her face and wiped off the drop of water that was bear her lips.

“Come let’s go and dance, I’m sure it will relief you” Luca smiled and pulled her to the dance floor.

They began dancing to the rhythm of the music.

“This feels so great!!” Iris exclaimed, dancing off her sadness…

The music suddenly stopped and Dasha came upstage, looking more pretty than usual. She was holding the mic on her hand.

“So as the MC and also as the birthday girl, a have a little game we could play. On the count of three, each and everyone of you will have to kiss his or dance partner for 5 minutes!” Dasha said and some people clapped and hailed.

Charlotte who has been looking at Luca and iris felt her heart fall…

Iris looked at Luca and laughed nervously. Luca held her waist and gulped down too…

“3, 2…1!!!” Dasha called.

Everyone began kissing each of their partners. Luca lowered his face and brought his face closer to iris’s.

Iris gulped down, feeling kinda nervous. She slowly parted her lips and then his lips landed on hers.

Luca kissed her slowly, he didn’t even know when he pulled her closer.

“And it’s over!!” Dasha clapped…

Charlotte couldn’t take it any longer, she rushed out of the area.

“Charlotte!!” Iris ran after her.

Luca touched his lips and smiled…
